THE LIGHTER SIDE
       
              
              ALVY..Woody Allen
        ...It was great seeing Annie again and I realized what a terrific person she was and how much fun it was knowing her and I thought of that old joke, you know, this, this this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, Doc, uh, my brother's crazy, he thinks he's a chicken and, uh, the doctor says, well why don't you turn him in?
        And the guy says, I would, but I need the eggs.
        Well, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about relationships.  You know, they're totally
        irrational and crazy and absurd and, but uh, I guess we keep going through it... because... most of us need the eggs.

        from Annie Hall
         

               
                 
      One can fall in love as often as a tree grows leaves. It is perfectly natural but  not free of guilt and complications, unless one takes oneself to be a leaf.
                David Ignatow
       
                          
     
                    MORE FUN THINGS TO DO
            Instead of a purchased gift, give your lover a
            personal favor. Try these for starters:
           
                             Give a massage (back, foot, or complete body)
                             Comb your lover's hair
                             Scratch your lover's back
                             Be your lover's servant
                             Be your lover's chef
                             Perform one or all the household chores
                             Cook a candlelight dinner
                             Cook the family dinner
                             Perform a sensual sponge bath or shower
                             wash
         
         
                 
     
                DEJA-VU DATE
                        Try reenacting your first date. Set things up as
                        closely as you can to your first date. Reserve the
                        same table, go to the same movie theater, take
                        the same romantic stroll.
                    
                   ROMANTIC TRIVIA
    Create a game based on questions about your relationship. Give rewards for right answers and accept lovingly the wrong ones. The following are
    some sample questions you can use:
     
                             Where was our first kiss?
                             What was my telephone number when you
                             first met me?
                             Where did we go on our first date?
                             What was the first movie we saw together?
                             What restaurant did we have our first dinner
                             together?
                             What was the first Valentine's gift I gave to
                             you?
                             What were you wearing and what was I
                             wearing the first time we met?
                             What kind of car did I own when we met?
